You should really test as the user you intend on running amanda as,
otherwise the testing really isn't valid. What user did you tell
./configure when you compiled amanda?

You need a file called .amandahosts in the $HOME of the amanda user
(determined at configure time). In that file you need an entry for
localhost and for 'localhost root' (the second only for amrecover).
Again, the amanda user.

The way to do that is:
su amanda -c "amcheck DailySet"
